Overview of the Episode

The first episode in the new "Summer Spouses" series kicks off with Conan, Sona, and Matt introducing a playful and experimental spinoff: each will bring on their own spouse for an episode, followed by a finale where the spouses are left alone to run the show themselves. The group reflects on the chaos, vulnerability, and hilarity that is about to ensue, poking fun at each others’ families, personalities, and the risks of giving their spouses the microphone.

The conversation, as always, is candid and irreverent, with Conan leading the banter and frequently skewering himself and his co-hosts. The tone is light-hearted, self-deprecating, and full of inside jokes—while also offering unique insight into the hosts’ home lives and fears about what their spouses might reveal.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Genesis of "Summer S’pouses" (01:51–06:00)

• The series is an evolution of “Summer S’Mores,” past summer specials known for heavy cocktail consumption and salacious anecdotes.
• Conan insists s'mores as a dessert/snack is "a failure," sparking comedy and mock arguments among the co-hosts.
  • Quote: “People said, I agree with you, Conan. It’s a snack that no one really enjoys, but pretend they do. It’s like Atlantic City.” – Conan (02:26)
• This year, instead of s’mores, they’re bringing “spouses” into the spotlight: each host’s spouse will appear on an episode, with a final episode featuring them unaccompanied.
• No more drinking sessions, but “as many gummies as you like,” leading to joking about aging and collecting gummies like fine wine.
  • Quote: “I have a gummy cellar… This Gummy was from 1844. It was owned by James K. Polk!” – Conan (06:11)
  • The idea originated from Matt Gourley, who refers to it as his “brainchild.”

---

2. Setting the Stage for Spousal Revelations (06:16–13:00)

• Anticipation, anxiety, and rules emerge regarding what’s fair game for the spouses to discuss.
  • Sona worries about Tak (her husband) being nervous due to the group’s tendency to make wild or embarrassing jokes at his expense.
    • Conan jokes about Tak being “responsible for Chernobyl” based on a story about his proximity, escalating into playful mock-accusations.
  • Debate ensues about what is “off-limits,” which evidently only inspires Conan to push harder.
    • Quote: “Don’t tell me what I can’t do, because then I’ll do it… It’s like that episode where Germans come to Fawlty Towers—‘Don’t mention the war!’” – Conan (09:04)
• They contemplate if inviting their charismatic, articulate spouses was a strategic error that could lead to being replaced on the podcast.
  • Quote: “I wish we had married dunderheads and idiots… Just, this was a mistake.” – Conan (10:36)
  • Matt comforts, “Maybe it’s the perfect plan. We lose it, but the money stays in the family.”

---

3. Spousal Personalities and Potential Power Shifts (13:00–16:00)

• The hosts discuss their spouses’ podcasting chops and potential for unfiltered sharing:
  • Matt’s wife, Amanda, is comfortable in front of a mic, having podcast experience.
  • Liza, Conan’s wife, is fiercely smart, funny, and potentially candid (“Summer Spouses: The Revenge”).
  • Tak is seen as warm and genial but possibly out of his element with the group’s banter.
• Conan muses about losing control and suspects their spouses might “replace us.”

---

4. Cultural Stereotypes, Family Life, and Humor (16:00–21:00)

• The group devolves into roasting Scottish stereotypes (led by Conan, who is Irish), with punchlines about frugality, bagpipes, and incomprehensible accents in court.
  • Quote: “If it’s about a white group of people who you know have been around for thousands of years, go to town… Yeah, those Lutherans.” – Conan (12:21)
• They discuss their ancestry and family backgrounds—Scottish, Irish, Welsh—revealing a self-deprecating distance from “exotic” heritage.
  • Quote: “It’s an exotic blend of Welsh, Irish, Scottish… you’re describing a bog.” – Conan (20:06)

---

5. Childcare and Family Logistics (20:38–22:09)

• How each host arranged childcare so their spouses could participate:
  • Matt’s daughter Golda is thrilled to babysit Sona’s son Glenn.
  • Sona leverages a “two to one ratio” of doting grandparents and in-laws watching her young twins.
  • Conan wryly claims his children, now adults, are under surveillance by a private detective on the East Coast.

---

6. Vulnerability, Exposure, and Podcasting Philosophy (16:48–24:00)

• Conan reflects on how inviting their spouses will make them “flesh and blood,” breaking the illusion of them as “Greek gods” atop Olympus—despite a reality of foibles and public humiliation.
  • Quote: “Our spouses will, for the first time, bring us to life… We might hear about some things that make us human.” – Conan (16:55)
  • Sona and Matt protest that embarrassing tales and flaws have “already been aired,” with Sona noting her family’s recurring shame.
    • Quote: “How many times my family has been embarrassed by me, just the things I’ve said.” – Sona (17:58)
• The group speculates about their spouses’ willingness to share secrets for personal “revenge,” raising existential anxieties about the show’s direction.

---

7. Next Episode Tease and Series Structure (24:33–26:18)

• Amanda Lund (Matt’s wife) will be the first guest spouse next week.
• Short riffs on the challenges of last names, oddities around apostrophes (“O’Brien”) creating issues in booking systems.
  • Quote: “Let’s throw some punctuation in there. It never comes up right on a hotel reservation.” – Conan (25:49)
• The team signs off with chaotic energy, reaffirming excitement and anxiety about “the fun really beginning” in the upcoming spouse-centered episodes.

Tone and Style

• The episode is a blend of absurdist humor, affectionate mockery, and semi-sincere vulnerability.
• Hosts frequently interrupt, riff, and build on each other’s jokes while occasionally circling into deeper introspection about family, partnership, and public image.
• The conversation is loose, playful, and feels like old friends riffing—letting the audience in on their anxieties and private lives.

---

Final Thoughts

The inaugural "Summer S’pouses" episode sets the stage for a potentially revealing (and certainly hilarious) arc in the podcast’s tradition: spouses taking center stage to humanize, and perhaps roast, their celebrity partners. Anticipation over what secrets will come out—and how it will change the chemistry of the show—runs high, all under Conan’s trademark blend of mock pomposity and self-deprecation.

Stay tuned for Amanda Lund’s episode, where the real dirt (and laughter) will begin!

Well, guess what? No matter how big, small or silly, traditions can bring people together. And Tostitos is there to celebrate the traditions that matter.

[C]

Summer Spouses with Conan o' Brien Sonam of Session and Matt Gourley and Liza Powell o', Brien, Tak Boroyan and Amanda Lund.

[A]

Hey there, and welcome to Conan o' Brien Needs a friend. We're doing something different today. Let me take you back in time. For a number of years now, in the summer, we have done a series, a segment called Summer S'. Mores. I think it began as an offshoot of my bitter complaint that I thought s' mores was a terrible failure. As a dessert and a snack, I

[B]

think it's a failure.

[A]

Failure.

[C]

We don't need to litigate this.

[B]

You can dislike it, but you can't say it's a failure.

[A]

We're not gonna litigate this again.

[B]

Okay? I'm just. You can't. You can say you don't like it.

[A]

This response I had on the Internet was fantastic. People said, I agree with you, Conan. It's a snack that no one really enjoys, but they. It's like. But they pretend they do. It's like Atlantic City. You're supposed to enjoy it. Then you get there and it's. It's terrible.

[B]

It's not the same as Atlantic City.

[A]

Bucket of diarrhea, here we go. So.

[B]

Oh, not A failure.

[A]

Okay, so any hoots? Yeah, but failure. But anyway, my point is that that was a series, and then it grew into us doing all kinds of. Mostly drinking. There was a lot of drinking in Summer S'. Mores. You, Matt, would unveil these incredible cocktails. Sona, you would go to town on these cocktails.

[B]

I would.

[A]

And then after you had tea, many martoonies, you would. We would say and do things people really enjoyed. And we did that for a number of years. And it was fun while it lasted.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

We thought, let's try something different this time around. And so, ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the beginning of an exciting new series. It's exclusive to this summer 2026, and it's called Summer Spouses. Just like summer s', mores, but spouses S. And then the little apostrophe powces,

[C]

which I guess we're saying is really the full title, is Summer Some More Powces. Yeah, some powces. So if you're going off the s'

[A]

mores thing when you.

[B]

S'. Mores or s'. Mores. Cause it's s o apostrophe more s'. Mores.

[A]

Some more Some spouses Question, Matt, when you took us down this little alley.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Did you know it would be a dead end? Or in your case, a dud end or.

[C]

This was me just taking a bullet to get you guys off. Fucking arguing about s'. Mores.

[A]

Yeah, we were off that. If you listen to the tape, you'll find that we were safely in new territory. I find you guilty on all counts.

[C]

All right, fair enough.

[A]

And sona s' mores bad. So here we are at Summer Spouses.

[B]

Is it suspicious spouses or spouses?

[A]

Okay, I'm just going to plow ahead without you. I am dissolving this parliament, and I'm charging ahead. I have now, like Napoleon, I'm just going to make myself emperor.

[C]

Should we explain what this is and how it will unfold? How about that?

[A]

We are going to chat amongst ourselves, then we are going to, one episode at a time, bring one of our spouses in here. And so we are going to bring in Amanda. Matt, we're going to bring Tack. Sona and Liza has agreed to come in and join the podcast for the first time, providing she doesn't have to be married to me anymore.

[B]

Oh, okay. Finally.

[C]

She was on once to plug her podcast, I believe.

[A]

Oh, that's right. She was on. She was on. Okay. All right. So she has technically been on once. But anyway, so this is going to be exciting. And I'm looking forward to it. I don't know what's going to happen.

[C]

And we should also mention there are two episodes past that, so it's just us, then each one of them gets an individual episode. And then the fifth episode is just the three of them without us.

[A]

It's going to be t, Amanda and Liza. Just them in a room talking.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And then I think for the final episode, it's us, them, and a bunch of attorneys. That's going to be a long episode, but you're really gonna get. You're gonna see all of our assets, which is pretty cool. Pretty cool. I'm looking forward to that. So are we gonna drink? No, there's no drinking in this one. But you can take as many gummies as you like and again, shout out to our gummy friends. What's their name again?

[B]

Camino.

[C]

I've been going to town on those.

[A]

Have you really?

[C]

Yeah, I'm really.

[A]

I have not. I'm still cautiously waiting.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Cautiously waiting. I thought it was like wine. You should really let it. I have a gummy cellar.

[C]

No, it's the opposite. They're just gonna turn into weir. Okay.

[B]

You're letting your gummies age.

[A]

Yeah. I have a little gummy rack in my basement, and I go down and I'm like, well, these ones are. These mellow me now. These are chill over here.

[C]

He's smoking some of them.

[A]

And then you blow dust off them when you take them out. This Gummy was from 1844. It was owned by James K. Polk. Yeah. Stupid. Can you imagine a gummy sommelier coming to your table? Yes. And he's talking to you about what you want. And he's thinking. And then you. He brings you a tiny, tiny little shred of gummy for the tasting.

[B]

For the tasting. And then you swish it around in your mouth.

[A]

Yeah. And then you spit it out. And then he. And then he slaps you. I don't know. I just picture you going. And him slapping you. It's just. It's part of the tradition. Anyway, this is. This was, I believe, Matt, if I'm correct, this was your brainchild.

[C]

I suppose so.

[A]

And I like this. I think it's fascinating. It's real. Shit's gonna get real.

[C]

How do you think it's gonna go? Like, what do you. What do you think? Are we gonna make it through this? To be just light hearted or are we going to, you know, I think.

[B]

Well, Tack's nervous.

[A]

Why is he nervous? Because he. First of all, he is an Incredibly genial, funny guy. He seems like a natural. Why would Tak be nervous?

[B]

Because this is outside of his wheelhouse. This is weird for him. But also, you know, every time you mention him, it's either you're talking about him being responsible for Chernobyl.

[A]

No, I never said. No, wait a minute. I didn't say he was responsible. I never said he was responsible.

[B]

You did say he was responsible.

[A]

You didn't say he was responsible. I said that he went to a summer camp near Chernobyl. Yeah, but I never said it was his fault.

[C]

Let me just make a note to ask him if he is indeed responsible for Chanel.

[B]

If there's tape, I want to roll it of you saying he's responsible for Ukraine. But I also don't want anyone to do work. So if we can't find anything, I'm

[C]

looking at you like, what the hell are you doing?

[A]

No, no, I never said that. And now I know you did. But guess what? Now, I suspect he was.

[C]

Oh, yeah, there is a bit of a lady death perspective.

[A]

He was playing softball near the. Near Chernobyl and hit a high fly. It went into the core reactor meltdown.

[B]

This is exactly what I don't want you to do.

[A]

When he said, then why did you bring this up?

[B]

Because I'm laying out rules to make him.

[A]

Don't tell me what I can't do, because then I'll do it. Okay, but it's like when I read ads on the show. They always give me three sheets that say, don't say this product will kill you. Don't say, this product was responsible for the deaths of 10. And I'm thinking, why are they. That would never have occurred to me. But now that they've put it in my head, yeah, well, then attacks are murderers.

[B]

Don't say. I don't want you to say chop when you talk about karate. Like, I don't want you to say, oh, chop in the air. I hear you.

[A]

We all know that he's a karate. He's a karate champion. He just got his black belt. And I've just always pictured him saying, I chop. I chop you as he chops.

[B]

I know. Can you just not say the word chop when you talk about. What is wrong with you?

[A]

You brought what. You keep putting these things in my head that you tell me not to think about, okay? And it's like that episode where Germans come and stay at Fawlty Towers, and they keep saying to John Cleese, don't mention the war. And it's like, at the End. He loses his mind and starts goose stepping around the dining room. That's what you're doing right now. You're planting this in my head. So stop it. Just stop it.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I love Tak. He's really funny. He's multi talented. He's a superstar. Agreed. I've always said that you and Tak are the JFK and Jackie of the Armenian set. You really are. They're a glamorous, cool couple. Who's a cooler Armenian couple than you guys?

[B]

There's a lot of really cool.

[A]

Probably. I just haven't looked into it. I don't think you know a lot now. Okay. So I think he's going to be great. I really do. And I'm a massive fan of his. Matt, let's talk about. I mean, first of all, you've this beautiful wife. Very talented. Amanda has. She's a performer. She's a natural. I think that she'd be built for this.

[C]

Oh, I think so. She's very breezy and comfortable in these situations. I think she'll have a blast with Tack and Liza. She's done many podcasts of her own. We're some kind of weird podcasting family.

[A]

I think there's a good chance now that I'm thinking about Tack, thinking about Amanda. Liza is incredibly smart and funny. I'm thinking now that they will replace us.

[C]

That's what I was saying. That there's a real danger of losing this.

[A]

This was stupid.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I wish we had married dunderheads and idiots.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know what I mean?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Just this was a mistake.

[C]

I think you might be right.

[A]

But we've announced it. It's going. And I also believe in the freedom of the marketplace. Pure capitalism. If we can't hang onto this podcast, we deserve to lose it.

[C]

But maybe it's the perfect plan because we lose it, but the money still stays in the family. We don't have to work. You know what I mean?

[A]

I'm pretty sure my wife would immediately set up a separate account. Liza comes from Scottish. They are very. Her. Her dad is super smart, frugal. Yeah. I think she would start cheating.

[B]

What are you saying about the Scottish? I'm curious.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Don't you know this old saw about the Scottish there? Oh, they're quite tight with their money. They're very careful with their money. And that's a compliment. They're really. They can make their money last a very long time. Oh, good for them.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

That's a famous old stereotype. And if it's old, thanks. If there's A stereotype. That's a really old one. And it's about white people you're allowed to have fun with.

[C]

That's true. That's true.

[A]

Boy, those Scottish people are cheap.

[C]

Amanda's very frugal, too, so she might. She's the frugal one in our family.

[A]

And she got some Scotch blood in her. I can really double down on this.

[C]

Whoa.

[A]

I'm going to get sued by some Scottish guy.

[C]

The country.

[A]

What, are they gonna come after me? I don't think so.

[B]

Yeah, with this kid.

[A]

Oh, the cast of train spotting is after me. What am I gonna do? And by the way, we won't even understand them in court. Now they're.

[C]

Now they're coming. Yeah, now they're coming after.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

They try and sneak up. Oh, I'm more. I'm not worried about them coming because they'll try and sneak up on me. They'll drop their bagpipes. I'll know they're. You always know they're coming 20 minutes beforehand. Anyway, who had this Scottish slander on

[C]

their bingo card for this episode?

[B]

I loved your Scottish.

[A]

I'm telling you, this is my new rule. If it's about a white group of people who you know have been around for thousands and thousands of years, go to town. Yeah, those Lutherans.

[C]

Well, don't get me started on the Welsh. You know,

[A]

The World cup is all about what's next. The future of the sport. The player nobody saw coming who suddenly becomes a star. Very exciting. Hyundai, official partner of the 2026 FIFA World cup, believes the next starts now.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Do you ever think about that? How the next starts now?

[B]

I think about it all the time.

[A]

Me, too. Now, personally, I don't know what's next for me. I hope it's that I become inventor of some amazing piece of tech.

[B]

Oh, boy.

[A]

And, yeah, it explodes and I become this legendary tech CEO giant.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

But I'm just waiting around for that to happen. I'm not good at tech, and I don't know anything about it.

[B]

You have trouble with all tech.

[A]

Yeah, I do. But for Hyundai, they're not like me. They're not sitting around waiting for some impossible thing to happen. They're building it now with innovative vehicles, advanced technology, and by helping support the next generation of soccer stars, or as many people say, football.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

From cars to robotics, they didn't come to the 2026 FIFA World cup to play around. Instead, they're looking ahead, growing, evolving. The future of football. And Hyundai isn't coming. It's Already here. Isn't that incredible? Hyundai, official partner of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Big news. Sona.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Did you know T Mobile recently partnered with the National Park Foundation?

[B]

No way.

[A]

Yep. They're making it easier to stay connected, so you're free to wander.

[B]

Well, that's really cool.

[A]

And I love a national park. I really do.

[B]

I do too.

[A]

Now, there's one thing you have to have if you're doing that good signal. It's a priority. Do you know what I mean? You got your maps, your music, this podcast. Yeah, so take America's best network plus their off grid satellite coverage with you. Look, we're all a little spoiled, but we like to have access to all our stuff. And suddenly you don't have it because of a bad signal. That's when I throw my phone into the Grand Canyon.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

Literally filled half the Grand Canyon with phones. Then I got T Mobile. Never had to chuck them again, you know.

[B]

Good.

[A]

So wander over to T mobile.com and switch. Best Based on analysis by OOKLA of Speed test intelligence data for 2H 2025. Wow, that's some sentence. T satellite with cable device in most outdoor areas in US where you see the sky, that's important. You gotta see the sky.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Service may be limited or unavailable. Included with experience beyond or $10 per month auto renews cancel anytime. That was probably meant to be said by a robot really quickly, but I just did it slowly so you could really understand. Disclaimer Please do not throw your phone into the Grand Canyon. Sona, what's a tradition in your home?

[B]

My family always does a family picnic every year. My aunts, my uncles, my cousins. It's really fun.

[A]

Well, guess what? No matter how big, small or silly, traditions can bring people together. And Tostitos is there to celebrate the traditions that matter. They start with whole corn kernels to make masa the traditional way and bring you a variety of flavors like a hint of lime and Mexican street corn. I love street corn. No artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. Just quality ingredients and amazing flavors worth gathering around. That's the Tostitos way. Celebrate your traditions with Tostitos. Or maybe even start a new one. Hello, Tostitos. Tradition matters.

[A]

Yeah. I think this is. This is a worthwhile experiment. We have fans also. I'm going to bring this up.

[C]

Oh.

[A]

People see us as just these remote figures who have unattainable fame. They look at Sona and Gorly and myself, and they just think of us, you know, like, oh, those are, like founding fathers of podcast. They're unapproachable. They're up in the clouds. They're made of marble. It's too perfect. Our spouses will, for the first time, bring us to life. You'll start to maybe hear about some of the foibles we have. That's right. We may have foibles. We may even have. I don't know, maybe you guys have a flaw. We might hear about some things that make us human. Bring us down from Mount Olympus and we might maybe breathe some life into us.

[B]

I love that you think that. After years of listening to us, people think we're flawless.

[A]

I. I maintain that we have. We have held ourselves up with this impossible ideal. Do you know what I mean?

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

And so people just. People picture us, like, wearing togas, standing aside a cloud.

[C]

I've never had more dirty laundry aired in my life than on this goddamn dog and pony show.

[B]

How many times my family has been embarrassed by me, like, just the things I've said.

[A]

What I'm saying is, we were just

[B]

talking about how I get drunk a lot on summer s', mores, so.

[A]

Yeah, that's why. I mean, we were gonna do another summer, but your counselor talked to us.

[C]

Honestly, so did the law. Yeah.

[B]

Oh, me. Oh, you're. You.

[C]

Well, how's just your doctor feel?

[B]

Good.

[A]

We were there with me.

[C]

I am.

[A]

I am excited about this. I am honestly a little bit anxious.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't know what's gonna happen and. But Liza's not going to discuss my bedwetting. I think that's off the table.

[C]

Who do you think will be the most candid of the three of them?

[A]

That's interesting.

[B]

Amanda.

[C]

You think so?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I was thinking maybe Liza, but maybe not.

[A]

Liza will be very candid.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. And I think she may see this as, you know, summer spouse's, the revenge.

[C]

Yeah. Time to get some things on record.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

She may see this as a chance.

[C]

What if this ends up becoming some, like, admissible evidence in court somehow, you know?

[B]

I mean, why would we be in court?

[C]

Well, like, we're getting.

[A]

First of all, we're Going for the Scotch are taking us to.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

So all of Scotland is taking me in and you know, but you know, I think I can handle them. No one wants dresses.

[B]

Dresses. Conan.

[A]

Oh my God, my tartan.

[C]

I am Scottish. I don't even know why I'm sitting here taking this, you know, because you're just.

[B]

What are you gonna do?

[A]

What is your. By the way? What is your. Yeah. What is your genetic makeup? And that's a fair question to ask people.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What are you made of? Are you. How much? How scotch are you? Because Liza, I think is. She's a good dose of Scottish. She's like half Scottish. I think she's a mixture of Scottish, Welsh. Well, she'll tell us. What am I doing? She'll tell us.

[C]

I'm Scots, Irish, which is really mostly Scottish and then English for the most part.

[A]

So you have a tiny bit of Irish.

[C]

I have. I think it was like 16 or 20% Irish.

[B]

So exotic.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, I know.

[B]

Dora's laughing the hardest.

[A]

I know. To me it is when you're 100.000% Irish.

[C]

I know.

[A]

And this guy comes in, I'm like, whoa. It's a Rastafarian. Hey, man. An exotic blend of Welsh, Irish, Scottish. Three villages that were eight miles from each other. It's basically you're describing a bog is what you're describing. I'm looking forward to this. I think it's going to be good. Now here's the big question. Who's looking after kids? My kids are in their late 50s. That is not a concern for us.

[C]

That's a big thing for us. I don't know about you, but both my girls are coming here. And luckily Adam's daughter is going to play with my oldest daughter Glenn, and then Sarah, who's also been on the summer s' mores series before, along with Amanda there.

[A]

Let's give your daughter a shout out. She's doing good. Adam, speak up.

[C]

Yes, Golda, my 11 year old daughter loves, loves, loves little kids. She's gotten to hang out with Glenn before and she's just in heaven when she gets to play with little kids Glenn loves. We had a little bit of a crisis moment. We were trying to figure out how do we make sure that everyone has their kids handled. And I was like, oh. I asked Golda, would you want to come to the office and play with Glenn? And she flipped out. She was so excited.

[A]

That's terrific.

[C]

So it worked out for everybody. And then my sister in law Sarah's watching our Six month old here.

[A]

I have a private detective watching my kids who are on the east coast right now. But he keeps a safe distance. And Sona, what have you arranged for childcare? What are those monsters up to?

[B]

Well, you know. You know, we have very involved grandparents.

[A]

Oh, I know.

[B]

So I went to drop my boys off at my parents house and I thought it was just gonna be my dad and it was my dad, my mom and my in laws. So they heard the boys were gonna be there and they just came to the house. So the boys are. We got a two to one ratio right now with the boys, which is

[A]

what you need with those kids now.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, my God.

[A]

Mikey and Charlie are. I mean, they're a force to be reckoned with. They are.

[B]

They're just non stop. It's just like constant energy. I can't keep up anymore. I'm done. I'm going to. I'm going to call it.

[A]

You're going to call it?

[B]

Yeah, I'm just going to.

[C]

You're tapping out?

[B]

I'm tapping out. I think I'm done.

[A]

Okay. Look, they love you. They'll swing by occasionally. They'll say, hi.

[C]

This is the third reason we're going to court. Okay.

[A]

All right, so what happens now? Do I have more business to lay out here?

[B]

Do we have questions to ask them? Are we going into this with a plan or are we. Are we doing a summer s' mores way, baby?

[C]

Yeah, man.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah, man. We. We've given them some content for their episode alone, figuring we're seasoned podcasting professionals. Like you said, podcasting.

[A]

I mean, I think we're killing it right now. I went on a 30 minute Scottish rant. We talked about how Tack maybe had hit a softball at a Chernobyl. Other than that, I mean, this is good stuff. This is solid stuff. I'm going to say this is grade A chop right now. Chop beef.

[C]

Get it out. Yeah, get it out.

[A]

Does he ever, when he's striking someone with his karate hand, say, I chop you. I chop you.

[B]

He does not say, I chop you. You've asked this before.

[A]

Can I say when I watch World cup and you've seen this, Eduardo, you and I have watched some World cup games together. All I do is narrate the people playing and all they're saying is, I kick it now. I kick it. I kick, I kick, I kick. Isn't it awesome watching with it now? I've grown to like it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

What?

[A]

And also when the ball's in the air and they're doing Headers. I go boing.

[B]

No, you don't like this.

[C]

I do.

[A]

This is the second world game. And you know what? If someone watches soccer with me, or as I like to call it, because I'm a citizen of the world of football, I make all these noises and I narrate different guys and different voices saying, I kick, I kick now. I kick, I kick, I kick back. I kick, I do that. And I know later on when they're watching it alone, my voice comes into their head sometimes. Has that happened yet, Eduardo? I don't think it's happened yet. Well, you just need more time with me. More time with me.

[B]

Oh, the World cup is over.

[A]

Oh, don't worry. They're going to have more of these matches.

[B]

No, there's no more soccer.

[A]

Oh, yeah, it's all done.

[B]

Yeah, I'm calling soccer, too.

[A]

This is, you know, this is a worthy moment for our podcast. We're gonna become real human figures, not the remote Greek gods you've known to love and, I think, fear to some degree. You'll see us as flesh and blood for the first time, you know? And don't act like you're bored with my speech. This is a good speech.

[B]

Is it a good speech?

[A]

It's a really good speech.

[C]

Repeat of what we just heard 10 minutes ago.

[A]

I looped around. I thought I'd give you another pass at it.

[C]

Okay, Here, why don't you read this speech?

[A]

Oh, okay. He's handing me the rap sign right now. Okay, we are going to. We're gonna wind this down, but you've gotta stay tuned next week because that's when the fun really begins. Tell us what's gonna happen in that episode.

[C]

First up is my wife, Amanda.

[A]

Amanda. And would you like to give her last name?

[C]

Lund.

[A]

Yeah, Lund.

[B]

Did she take your last name?

[C]

She did.

[A]

Legally, she took it and then threw it back. Yeah, she took it. When a dog eats some soap, accidentally it spits it out. She took it for eight seconds, and. A goarly came out and rattled on the floor like some rusty keychains. Blup, clang. That's a beautiful name. Not that Gorly isn't a beautiful name.

[C]

Well, her name.

[A]

Yeah, it's much better. It is Liza. I'm gonna say this in Liza's defense. She has a beautiful name. Liza Powell. And with one l, because she comes from this storied family. Philadelphia, the Rev. She's related to these historic figures. And then I was like, well, guess what? Now you're o'. Brien.

[B]

Let's throw punctuation in there.

[A]

Yeah, let's throw some punctuation in there. It never comes up right on a hotel reservation. We're sorry, we don't have you here. Try an apostrophe. Nope, Our computer doesn't take apostrophes or Irish. So stay tuned because next week, Matt, Amanda's coming to town and we're gonna find out some stuff. Oh, stay tuned. Summer spouses. Summer spouses. It's not better on the way.

[B]

It's not better.

[A]

It's much better. I win.

[B]

It's not terrible.

[A]

More is bad.

[B]

It's terrible.

[A]

Quiet. You're fired. Terrible. Really.

[C]

Cutting the mics in 3, 2, 1.

[B]

Stupid.
